Wanna' Bet This is a Maid?

Not unlike murders that happen anywhere else in the world - you kill someone and put their lifeless body in a garbage bag and dump the body at sea... Scott Peterson Robert Petrick comes to mind. I'm sure there are others.

No, I'm not an attorney - just someone who thinks for himself. To save arguing it here, go look at Guilty? (2 minutes to read) to see what the prosecution had - which was nonsense.Then look at Innocent! (1 minute to read) to see what the real circumstantial evidence in this case actually proved. 18 items of evidence for fetal abduction. Zero for uxoricide.

Took a lot longer than three minutes, VOS, only because one page leads to another to another... Certainly was quite a bit of room for a great deal of doubt! So, you being someone who thinks for himself - the jury didn't? Apparently, not. Like I said, I didn't follow this closely enough to have formed an opinion - just went with what the verdict was when I wrote the post about the maid.

So, you being someone who thinks for himself - the jury didn't?Since none of the jurors can even begin to explain their verdict (comments like "All the pieces fit together" lead to more questions like, "What pieces and how did they fit"?) I can't give them any credit for their 6 hour 'deliberations'.

Again, VOS, I didn't follow it closely enough. I will tell you that I worked in the legal field for almost 25 years and participated in a number of jury trials - too many - and would often leave the courtroom - after a verdict was rendered - wondering how the hell with the evidence presented - did that jury end up with "that" verdict?

Really does make you wonder about our legal system at times...

Oh, and, again, like I said I didn't follow SP's trial very closely, but I had NO idea until I started reading at the sites you directed me to about Laci's clothing, underwear, etc., and the "unbirth" of Connor. Do not even think I was aware that Connor was found "outside" of Laci... That would have spoken volumes - no, not spoken, SCREAMED - that something else happened in this case!

About Me

Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, there was a Woman who thought she was living the American Dream. Her childhood, although now not particularly memorable, was fairly normal. She went to school. She got a job. She met a tall, blonde and handsome pilot and married him. It was all good. They were the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple. The handsome pilot built her the house of her dreams in North Carolina, where she thought they would live for the remainder of their many, many days to come. Circumstances, totally out of the control of this lovely Ken and Barbie couple, changed everything. Shortly afterward, they came to find themselves living a whole new life in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Oh, sure, they are still the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple, but Barbie now wears an abeyah over her designer outfits when she leaves her house, she has given up her pink convertible because she is not allowed to drive, and she no longer has an office that she visits five days a week, instead choosing to spend her time as a stay-at-home wife and an over-protective, doting Mommy to their two absolutely adorable, much loved and very, very pampered four-legged “Kids.”
